50 cents in 1945: Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe

[villa66]

I miei viaggi attraverso domenica coin-terra mi ha portato in primo luogo attraverso il tema della ferrovia americana Atchison, Topeka e Santa Fe, e poi la canzone omonima, famosa prima alla radio, nei jukebox e alle casa sul fonografo, e poi al cinema in Le Ragazze di Harvey con Judy Garland.

Mentre stavo ascoltando Il Atchison, Topeka e Santa Fe ho notato la data (1945) attribuito al disco e il prezzo stampato sulla copertina del disco illustrato (50 centesimi). In realtà, dato che era tempo di guerra, e l'economia di guerra è stato oggetto di controllo dei prezzi, il prezzo massimo era di 50 centesimi.

Un 1945d Walking Liberty mezzo-dollaro, il costo di tale disco musica quando entrambi erano nuovi ....

My Sunday travels through coin-land took me first through the subject of the American railroad Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, and then the song of the same name, popular first on the radio, in jukeboxes and at home on the phonograph, and then at the movies in The Harvey Girls with Judy Garland.

While I was listening to The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe I noticed the date (1945) attributed to the record and the printed price on the illustrated record sleeve (50 cents). Actually, since it was wartime, and the war economy was subject to price controls, the ceiling price was 50 cents.

A 1945d Walking Liberty half-dollar, the cost of that music record when they both were new.

Le Ragazze di Harvey è un film sul tempo famoso Harvey Case (ristoranti) delle città della ferrovia vecchi tempi, come emerge dalla Il Atchison, Topeka e Santa Fe come è stato eseguito da Judy Garland (e cento o duecento altri!).

Ma la canzone in se è 1940 tutto e per tutto, e questo, anche, è molto l'immagine evocata dal brano:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmBKHSZ1pcU

La firma ATSF Super Chief, il loro treno veloce da Chicago a Los Angeles. (39,75 ore prima e dopo la guerra, ma rallentato da 41,75 ore a partire dall'estate del 1942 per tutta l'estate del 1946, e con un faro black-out come il Super Chief quasi raggiunto la costa della California e la minaccia dei sottomarini tedeschi e giapponesi.)....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Harvey Girls was a movie about the once-famous Harvey Houses (restaurants) of the old-time railroad towns, as is apparent from The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe as it was performed by Judy Garland (and a hundred or two hundred others!).

But the song itself is 1940s through and through, and this, also, is very much the image evoked by the song:

The ATSF signature Super Chief, their fast train from Chicago to Los Angeles. (39.75 hours before and after the war, but slowed down to 41.75 hours from the summer of 1942 through the summer of 1946, and with a blacked-out headlight as the Super Chief neared the California coast and the threat of German and Japanese submarines.)....

Ma ho detto il prezzo del record era di 50 centesimi? Non proprio. Vedere nella stampa fine la possibilità di tasse. Quindi prendere il vostro mezzo di dollari in un negozio di dischi, ma è meglio avere uno di questi anche, nel caso. 5-centesimi!

But did I say the price of the record was 50-cents? Not quite. See in the fine print the possibility of taxes. So take your half-dollar into the record store, but you had better have one of these too, just in case. 5-cents!

That discussion is very interesting :)

Unfortunatly in Italy Atchison is less knew than Topeka or Santa Fe, but it must be a good city. I remember Atchison because it is the birth place of Amelia Ehrart (I don't remember how can I write her surname, I am grom the mobile phone at the moment), the first woman that ever flew in the history and one of the main charapter of "A night at the museum 2", the movie.

Today is it open again the Atchison Topeka Santa Fe? :)

Thank you again for your post :)

Oggi il ATSF è scomparso nella BNSF (Burlington Northern Santa Fe), ma c'è ancora una traccia della vecchia ferrovia nella loro nuova livrea.

E grazie per la menzione di Amelia Earhart, io non conoscevano la connessione!

Una cosa su Amelia Earhart. Anni fa stavo guardando un TV gioco-spettacolo con mia madre. Uno dei premi è stato un po 'di Amelia Earhart bagagli. E 'stato un bel set di valigie belle, ma io e mia madre sia poco poco non cadde, ridendo. Amelia Earhart era un famoso, celebre aviatrice, ma una delle cose che è più famoso per stato di perdersi e di non essere mai trovato--mi sembrava una cattiva nome per i bagagli!

Today the ATSF has disappeared into the BNSF (Burlington Northern Santa Fe), but there is still a trace of the old railroad in their new paint scheme.

And thanks for the mention of Amelia Earhart; I didn’t know about the connection!

One thing about Amelia Earhart. Years ago I was watching a TV game-show with my mother. One of the prizes was some Amelia Earhart luggage. It was a nice set of nice suitcases, but my mother and I both just almost fell over, laughing. Amelia Earhart was a famous, famous aviatrix, but one of the things she is most famous for was getting lost and never being found--it seemed like a bad name for luggage!

Ahaha yes it is! :)

Some months ago - or maybe a year - I have read an Italian newspaper that talked about the lost of Amelia Earhart. The artical talked that her airplane is down in the Pacific Ocean, not far from the Kiribati Islands! I loss a coin from that state :)

And talking about aviators, today I have found a Samoa commemorative coin, 1 dollar of 1977, that celebrates the 50th year of the first flight trough the Atlantic Ocean of Charles August Lindbergh... I have posted the pictures of this coins! :)

Thank you for your very interesting post :)
